Chapter 224 Several
After the two went in, they found that there were many people who had escaped overnight like them.
In the second half of the night, several more people arrived one after another, so they volunteered to greet their companions at the door, so that they could notice anything if it happened.
Early the next morning.
One after another, women who had registered came in from outside. They faced the rising sun, their eyes filled with anxiety and uneasiness about the future, but their steps were firm.
"Sister Ruo, why...why are you here too?"
"Last night, Auntie said that she would kidnap you and marry you to someone from the next village... Sister Ruo, have you really thought it through? Auntie and the others have already received money."
"If you can't get through, they......"
"I have thought it through. Rather than being beaten to death, I would rather do something for the court and the people."
The battle between the imperial court and the Huns became a hot topic.
The Huns not only wanted the city, food and silver, but also wanted the Central Plains to send 3,000 women in.
They...if they don't go, someone will have to go.
Rather than being sent to marry a stranger, it is better to take a gamble. I don’t plan to win anyway, but maybe I can contribute something to the people.
Of course!
at this time--
Voices came from outside.
"I'm here to look for my daughter, why won't you let me in?"
"Come on, everyone, come and see!"
"This martial arts school took advantage of my daughter's youth and ignorance, tricked her into running away from home in the middle of the night, and now they are relying on their numbers to bully us two elderly people."
Many women inside looked at each other, fear in their eyes.
Only one of the women recognized the voices as her parents' and turned pale.
She bit her lip, not knowing what to do. She knew her parents' abilities. If she didn't leave, she was afraid that her parents would make a scene and the martial arts school would be in turmoil.
She took a step forward hesitantly, and as soon as her body swayed, a slender white hand fell on her shoulder.
Shen Wei patted her on the shoulder. To save her face, he did not directly reveal whose parents the people making trouble outside were. Instead, he said to everyone:
"Everyone, rest assured. If you regret it, you can leave the martial arts hall now and choose to go home. After all, I said early on that if you choose to go to the northern border, it is for the Central Plains and the people, not for yourself."
and also,
For the rights of women in the future.
So that they can have a chance to break out of the rear house and stand in a superior position.
But all of these have to be exchanged for life.
Shen Wei looked around the room and said, "But if you are willing, no one can stop you. This decision requires a lot of courage, but those who dare to go are heroes."
"Just stay here and let the government take care of the things outside."
Shen Wei had long anticipated his parents' desire for control.
When Xiaoying walked out, she saw a couple in their forties arguing with an apprentice from the martial arts school. The man had a loud and rough voice and was loudly questioning the apprentice.
The woman tried to gain sympathy from people around her by playing the victim.
They were not clear about the strength of the martial arts school, but the residents living near the school knew that even though the school was filled with women, they would rather provoke men than them.
As a result, there were very few onlookers.
Most of them watched from afar with an expression of enjoying the show, and did not gather around.
Shen Wei did not go over and try to convince the two men with reason. She stood at the door and watched calmly.
